A video showing a crocodile dragging a dog from the steps of the pond at the historic Khan Jahan Ali shrine in Bagerhat has gone viral on social media, prompting widespread discussion and criticism. The footage shows the crocodile approaching the dog, biting it, and submerging, while onlookers watched without intervening. The apparent inaction of the spectators has drawn questions from the public.
Local residents later clarified that the dog had been aggressive for several days, attacking people around the shrine area. According to nearby resident Russel and shrine attendant Bina, the dog was not deliberately offered to the crocodile, and misinformation had spread online. They said the dog reached the pond steps while fleeing locals, and the crocodile appeared there coincidentally.
Bagerhat Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Atia Khatun stated that the district administration formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident. The committee is verifying the facts and will confirm the actual circumstances after completing the inquiry.
